From the State Paper- Dominique Archie soaring through the air for a dunk.Ok, I know I am taking a cheesey line from the announcers that I completely laughed at when they said it, but it couldn't be more true!
My Gamecocks completed a season sweep of the Kentucky Wildcats last night with a 19 point victory, complete with 20 blocks. Yes, 20 blocked shots!! Previously, the school record for a game was 15. We owned Kentucky last night (sorry to any Kentucky fans)- It wasn't even as close at the 19 points indicates. Most of the night we were leading by more than 20 points at a time- once by as much as 28.
In arguably the biggest game of the season, we came to play and left the arena last night as the leaders of the SEC Eastern Division. With 3 games left to play in the regular season, I hope we can finish strong against Vandy, Tennessee and Georgia.
I'd like to especially congratulate our big men, who played their hearts out. Of the 20 blocks, Sam Muldrow had 7- that's a pretty incredible number.
So, congratulations guys, but don't let your guard down! The next 3 games are crucial for placement in the SEC Tourney as well as the NCAA Tourney (which we should make for the first time in a while!)
Oh, and major props to Darrin Horn- what a great coach!
Wasn't it a great game! We had fun watching it last night :-)
